TORONTO, Oct. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viafoura’s rapid Moderation Console is now available to media companies worldwide and acts as a productivity tool for moderators. The Console offers media organizations a new approach to organizing and accelerating the way their moderators work.
“Our goal was to streamline moderation workflows and ensure the process is cost-effective for our clients,” says Viafoura’s founder and CEO, Jesse Moeinifar. “We built this product from the ground up to centralize content moderation across multiple digital properties, leveraging the expertise of actual moderators.”
Viafoura’s revamped tool can now successfully increase moderation velocity and accuracy through a variety of features:
- Queues — Moderators can work from a single queue of user-generated posts from multiple digital properties, moderate comments in bulk, ban users and review relevant user data. This includes the number of each user’s bans and blocked posts.
- Custom Workspaces — Allows moderators to perform all their responsibilities from one centralized location. Workspaces can also be created and assigned to specific users based on predefined criteria such as shift times, helping to optimize resource allocation.
- Saved Searches — For discovery and training purposes, moderators can search through past comments in real-time using advanced filters.
- Tags — Moderators can use a predefined list of tags explaining why a post was blocked to improve reporting on the Console’s analytics dashboard.
- Easy Integration — The Moderation Console’s open API can be easily integrated with almost every third-party commenting platform.
“Our moderation tool allows moderators to be flexible,” says Leigh Adams, product manager of Viafoura’s moderation services. “It’s sophisticated, customizable and can set up the environment for moderators based on their knowledge of a community.”
Mehrad Karamlou, a product manager at Viafoura, states that “civility is fundamental to building loyal communities. We intend to help publishers keep their properties free of incivility, including hate speech and vulgarity, which can spike during major events like national elections and the Olympics.”
The Moderation Console is also included with the purchase of any Viafoura tool. For more information, book a demo or contact your client's success representative. You can also register for a live webinar, which will walk you through the moderation console on November 5, 2019, at 2 p.m. ET.
